Football World Cup: The final whistle blows for Qatar’s short-lived stadiums

Football World Cup: The final whistle blows for Qatar’s shortlived stadiums Less than two weeks after producing its unveiling as a Football World Cup venue, Stadium 974 will bid goodbye on Monday night after hosting Brazil’s round of 16 games against South Korea. The short-lived arena made from 974 packed shipping containers will have satisfied its purpose after hosting seven matches. The first interim stadium in Football World Cup history could yet have a second life. Organizers have pledged to demolish it, pack it up, put it on a ship, and rebuild it overseas.

Initially, it was likely to go anywhere in Africa, but the latest noises indicate that it might end up in Uruguay. If that does happen, it could even be resurrected as a future Football World Cup stadium: Uruguay is expected to be part of a pan-South American bid for the 2030 contest. Stadium 974 was intended to address worries that Qatar was spending billions of dollars on white-elephant locations that would have no use after the tournament World Cup was over.

Then questions remain over the other stadiums. The Zaha Hadid-designed Al Janoub will also get its last moment in the limelight on Monday, in the past half of its seats are pulled out and donated to football development projects abroad. Altogether, Qatar has agreed to give away around 170,000 seats after the final shrill.

Al Janoub is one of two reasons that will be handed over to local football squads after the Football World Cup, while Khalifa International will continue as Qatar’s national stadium. The vast tent-like Al

Bayt, some 50km north of Doha, is scheduled to become a luxury hotel with a 32,000-capacity venue in the middle of it, while Lusail, the largest of the eight locations and host for the final on December 18, is set to become a public hub. Qatar’s remarkable collection of Football World Cup stadiums was constructed at great cost, yet details stay pretty vague on what will happen to them when the FIFA circus drops town.

Japan looks to make history at Qatar Football World Cup Japan has now set records in Qatar. They beat Spain in their final group game with just 17% possession.

No squad has seen so little of the ball in a Football World Cup game since 1966. They also put Germany on the path to an early exit, beating them 2-1 in the opening game in one of the tournament’s shock results. Those twin defeats put Japan top of their group.

The next challenge will be to conquer Croatia, losing finalists from Russia 2018, and their former Ballon d’Or winning talisman Luka Modric. Success would see the Samurai Blue make their first-ever Football World Cup quarter-final. Speaking ahead of the game, Japanese defender Yuto Nagatomo called on his teammates to show samurai spirit. Croatia has not looked credible so far, advancing to the last 16 with two 0-0 draws and a win over qualified minnows Canada. This could be a close one.

Defending Dutch chart different routes to victory In a break from last week, there were few scares in the first four knockout matches. Lionel Messi operated a lackluster Argentina past a plucky Australia, Kylian Mbappe powered a slick France past a drab Poland, and Jude Bellingham, 19, drove a ruthless England past an energetic Senegal. You can read our profile of England’s teen wonder here, and Simon Kuper’s post-match analysis of the team’s 3-0 win here. Temporarily Louis van Gaal conducted his Netherlands squad into the quarter-finals.

The squad is now unbeaten in 19 games under the 71- year-old former Barcelona coach. Muffled the Japanese feel, the Dutch beat the USA 3-1 on Saturday with just 35% ownership, as van Gaal chose to rely on swift counter-attacks to punish a slow American backline. While most of the big squads in Qatar will look to control matches and keep hold of the ball, the Netherlands is using a different playbook.

That could make them a threat in the knockout stages. Next up they face Argentina in a repeat of the 1978 Football World Cup final.

Football World Cup services in Qatar are perfect, speaks Mejbri Tunisian star Hannibal Mejbri has given thumbs up to Qatar’s great organization of the Football World Cup, telling him hosting the first football centerpiece in the Arab world is making people of the region proud. Speech to The Peninsula at the Adidas brand media center at Aspire Zone, the hopeful midfielder told he’ll take back a lot of good memories from Qatar and added the host country has made flawless arrangements to host the joining players.

“As pro footballers, we need some good services and we got them in Qatar,” stated Mejbri, who plays for Birmingham City, on loan from Manchester United.

“We had all close to us. The hotel was great, the gym was good and the pool was also very good. The food was good everything was perfect in Qatar. There was nothing to be protested about and that was for me a great encounter, he stated. The 19-year-old told the Football World Cup is presenting a real image of the Qatari society and the Arab world.

“I am very happy because this Football World Cup in Qatar has given me a chance to show a lot of good things in the Arab world. Qatar is a very nice country with a rich society and I am very happy to be a part of this Football World Cup in Qatar,” he supposed.

Member was a part of the Tunisian team that was in Group D along with title-holders France, Denmark, and Australia. The Carthage Eagles had a bright start playing an extraordinary draw against Denmark in their opening Group D game before they suffered a 1-0 defeat to Australia after Mitchell Duke’s strike in the first half. The Jalal Kadri-coached side, though, bounced back to register a notable 1-0 victory over leading champions France after a superb goal by Tunisia captain Wahbi Khazri. I think it’s 10 out of 10 as we won 1-0 against France, who are the reigning world champions and are one of the best squads in the world, Mejbri spoke of the memorable win. Tunisia, though, was reduced with France and Australia forward to the knockout stage from the group.

“We did our maximum but sadly, we didn’t qualify for the Round of 16 but that happens in football. I think we played two very good matches against Denmark and France although we didn’t play well in the first half against Australia,” he stated.

Football is a tough sport and if you lag bottom even for a short period you will have to pay Australia did a very good job in that match. Mejbri thanked Tunisian followers for giving overwhelming support to the team during their games. When asked which team he thinks would win the Football World Cup, he replied: To be honest, I want my friends to win the Football World Cup so after we meet, I can tell we won the Football World Cup. Hopefully, the best team wins.

“There are a lot of Tunisians in Qatar and we received a lot of support from them during our matches which were very good for us. The atmosphere was very good during our matches,” he stated.
